本文讨论了开放政府数据（OGD）运动和信息权（RTI）运动之间的关系。虽然这两个运动密切相关，但也存在一些差异，可能对公民获得政府信息的权利产生重大影响。文章认为，OGD的要求可能会限制政府信息的获取，而另一方面，他们也可能提供一个替代的信息来源，现有的信息自由的立法，这是受到威胁的一些国家。
This article discusses the relationship between the open government data (OGD) movement and the right to information (RTI) movement. While both movements are closely related, there are some differences that may have a considerable impact on the right of the citizen to access government information. The article argues that the calls for OGD may on the one hand risk limiting the access to government information, while on the other hand they may also provide an alternative source of access to information for existing freedom of information legislation, which is being threatened in some countries.
